I am currently a senior at the University of West Georgia impatiently awaiting my graduation in December 2008. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a concentration in Interior Design. Born April 15, 1983, my life was typical until 1993 when my brother and I tragically lost both of my parents and my grandfather. Taken in by a distant relative my teenage years were turbulent. I found solace in the worlds that were described within the text of great literary works. In May 2001 I graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida. My husband, Daniel Bell, and I met on the beach under a starry Jacksonville sky in August of 2002 and married July 2, 2005. Daniel is currently the editor of the Rome Newswire, in Rome, Georgia. Today, I use my passion for reading as inspiration for many of my designs and artwork; after all, it has always provided me with wonder.
